The program is open to all residents of Papua and West Papua provinces, said Ipi Maryati Kuding, the acting spokesperson of the KPK’s prevention division.

She said the online event was intended as an exploration that could set up or galvanize the antigraft movement in the region through the use of the JAGA platform.

Until now, users in big cities supported by good internet connections and members of a digitally literate community have been the most active on the mobile platform.

“Through this event, the KPK also wants to develop effective collaboration in the development of corruption-prevention efforts [in Papua and West Papua],” Ipi said in a statement to The Jakarta Post on Monday.

Discussions will focus on three public service sectors, namely education, health and social assistance.

The training provided will touch on, among other issues, the challenges of corruption management in both provinces, as well as the management of regional budgets and village funds, in the hope that the public will play an active role in preventing corrupt practices.
